Backlight
The display and keypad are illuminated by a
backlight. When you press any key, the backlight
illuminates. It turns off if no key is pressed within a
given period of time, depending on the
Backlight
option set in the
Phone Settings
menu. The
backlight remains on at all times when the phone is
connected to a car kit (optional).
To specify the length of time for which the backlight
is active, set the
Backlight
menu option (
5-1-5
); see
page 80 for further details.

specified time if an alarm has been set.
When you press and hold the volume key with the
phone closed, the backlight of the external display
illuminates.
